Some cases.  53
There was a case of stones in the gallbladder, a female aged 37 years, awaful pains,  vomiting,  constipation, pale stools etc .From the day he started treatment he felt better and gradually he considered himself quite normal and healthy. About three years later X-ray showed the stone was a bit bigger. Medicine prescribe was a Cardus mur. I am sure some of you would have tried curing otorrhoea especially with no other symptoms in the patient except for a tendency for cold or sore throat. Even if you say he has been cured or even if you say he does not have a single symptom left sometimes the discharge come again and again showing you that the particular trouble for which he came has remained uncured. For the patient only thing important is the complaint for which he came to you. It may be ingrowing toe nail, a corn and what not . No amount of our telling him that after he has been constitutionally cured his complaint will be better. Dr . Kent had advised us to go on warning the patient like this, perhaps he would manage to convince his patient but for an everyday practitioner it is an awfully difficult job to keep the patient long enough so that all his constitutional traits and weakness are removed and then the main complaint is removed. There must be a simpler, easier and more direct way . One of the methods perhaps is to study more our organ remedies or those which have a special affinity for these complaints. Usually such remedies are not even remembered. They may not come in the reportory and we miss a good chance of curing a patient.
Our science and law are so vast that they must include small points also like a thorn in the flesh, a wart a small tumor a cyst so that they need not require a long drawn constitutional, antimiasmatic treatment for their removal.
Our Materia Medica is full of such singular or peculiar or one sided symptoms. We must make full of use these.Boerick's Materia Medica is treasure for this .
